Summary of the two links above is that when used perfectly, pull out method results in a 4% chance per year for pregnancy, and condoms result in a 2% chance per year for pregnancy. Real world usage (because people usually don't do things correctly) is 22% per year chance with pull out, and 13% chance with condoms.
So if done correctly, pulling out is 2% more likely than condoms, and if not done correctly it's 9% more likely than condoms.
You're saying DOUBLING the chances is negligible
I'm not sure if you're bad at math or just mad you're wrong.
2% is half of 4%
Yeah, but if you double a very small percentage, it's still a very small percentage. That's the part you don't seem to grasp. So what if it's "doubled" when the end result is still only 4%.
